Claressa Shields turned up the heat in the ring with Diamond The Body as the rapper and reality star preps for what’s expected to be a volatile “Baddies Africa Reunion” this September.
On Thursday (August 21), Diamond posted a video of herself getting a crash course in boxing from the two-time Olympic gold medalist.
“Listen, reunion is going the f### down, okay?” Diamond declared. “I just got my lessons from Claressa Shields, the great, the boxing legend, the muthafuckin gold medalist.”
Shields responded with a nod of approval: “Listen, you’ve got the goods. All you have to do is let the goods go.”
The rapper captioned the video, “Trained by the GWOAT herself! Honored and grateful for the lesson from the gold medalist @claressashields. I’m ready for whatever now !!”
The training session wasn’t just for show. Shields has been working with Diamond to sharpen her boxing fundamentals, including proper punching technique and footwork.
The goal? To make sure Diamond is ready for any physical confrontations likely to erupt during the reunion taping.
Physical altercations are a regular part of the “Baddies” franchise, and “Baddies Africa” has been no exception.
Diamond has already been involved in several on-camera fights during the season, even claiming she squared up with seven castmates during filming.
The reunion, scheduled for late September 2025, is expected to be a pressure cooker of unresolved drama and face-to-face confrontations. With tensions running high, Diamond’s decision to train with a world-class boxer like Claressa Shields appears to be a strategic move.
